NCAA BASEBALL REGIONAL
Oklahoma State University is hosting an NCAA baseball regional for the first time in several years. Other teams at the regional are Western Kentucky, Texas Christian University and Wichita State University. I was often at the Indy 500 when OSU hosted regionals, but I got to go to a couple of them in the late 80's. Here are some photos of Allie P. Reynolds Stadium on the OSU campus in Stillwater.

LAWRENCE-DUMONT STADIUM - WICHITA KS
This past weekend, we went to Wichita KS to meet my son, his girlfriend and a friend/teammate for lunch at Old Town. After lunch, we visited several sports venues, including Lawrence-Dumont Stadium which was built in 1934.
When we were at the stadium, there was a Kansas state high school playoff game. The stadium currently is the home of the independent Wichita Wingnuts and also the National Baseball Congress World Series. The stadium formerly was the home of the Wichita Wranglers, which were a AA affiliate of the Kansas City Royals and, at one time, the Wichita State University Shockers until WSU built a stadium on campus.
The stadium is known for the combination of a natural grass outfield with an artificial turf infield. But probably the greatest landmark is the green scoreboard in left field. There is a big dent in the scoreboard where Joe Carter (of Millwood HS in OKC, Wichita State University and the Toronto Blue Jays) hit a home run off my brother, who was pitching for Oklahoma City University. I hope he enjoys the photos!

GEORGE W COVEY 1927-2003
Today would have been my father's 81st birthday. In 1986, I won tickets to the MLB All Star Game at the Astrodome in Houston TX. We went to the team hotel before the game and got lots of autographs, including Lefty Gomez. Here are photographs of Dad outside the Dome before the game and the roof of the Dome from the inside.
